Corey Poems


A Wish on the Sea of Life

As my ship blows on the sea of life...
I'm a man with a golden voice!
And I... search for my one true love...
so I can feel that underlying joy...
and I can be something whole!
Tears fall on my sleeve.
The wind flows on me...
and the moon is my only company!
My ship...ooooo...blows on the sea of life...
and I'm a man...with a golden voice...
and I wish to fall...in love...
in love!

Under a Rainbow

As I.. talk with you...
I feel I'm sitting here...
under a rainbow...
in the sky!
Which is a recipe...
for love and harmony!

And dreams...
as cheesy as they go...
dill like a pickle...
or false like fools gold...
can come true!
If you only knew...
how to reach...
for those very stars!

And my heart...
was forever lonely...
till I met you...
my true love.
You make my vision...
come true...
oooooo!

As I.. talk with you...
I feel I'm sitting here...
under a rainbow...
in the sky!
Which is a recipe...
for two lovers...
to embrace!

And my heart...
was forever lonely...
till I met you...
my true love.
You make my vision...
come true...
oooooo!

As I.. talk with you...
I feel I'm sitting here...
under a rainbow...
in the sky!
Which is a recipe...
for love and harmony!

And dreams...
as cheesy as they go...
dill like a pickle...
or false like fools gold...
can come true!
If you only knew...
that I...love you.
that I...love you...
that I...love you.

Pressing Giles Corey II

I spend most time within this grave
Unmarked and deathly silent
I met my end remaining brave
Which made it no less violent

Pressed to death for 3 long days
Only asking for more weight
Not this lie but other woeful ways
I wonder if I'd sealed my own fate

A young man from my living time
Caught stealing just some apples
I beat him for his modest crime
Now my soul still with me grapples

Shy a fortnight I did keep him here
Only to deliver him to deaths door
This caused my current state, I fear
To haunt Salem Town forevermore

I never gave in to their torture
When it was me unjustly tried
My wife hanged instead of scorch her
Am I the fault we both have died

Save for occasional haunting
I still feel I'm being pressed
This eternity seems daunting
And weighs heavy on my chest

This young man's name was Goodale
His soul must have been set free
Nightly down here without fail
Mine is still here trapped with me

Pressing Giles Corey

I am no martyr, no ghost, nor wizard great
They laid rocks all upon me, and again I say
I will not plead, more weight, more weight

I was a farmer, in the spring of Salem late
My wife is to be hanged the following day
I am no martyr, no ghost, nor wizard great

Oh Martha I’ve sinned, though not what they state
There shall be no confession, so here I will lay
I will not plead, more weight, more weight

I’ve afflicted no person to meet this gruesome fate
Accused by a witch they say changed her way
I am no martyr, no ghost, nor wizard great

Three days pass, my conviction won't abate
Stone by stone, my hope for reason gone astray
I will not plead, more weight, more weight

Crushed to dust, before they’ll clean my slate
Oh Miss. Hobbs, for your betrayal you will pay
I am no martyr, no ghost, nor wizard great
I will never plead. More weight, more weight.

Life Lost (Dedicated To Cory C and Corey P)

Like a bullet flying by
You flipped your car many times
Silver Car,
Shattered glass lay in the way
Shattered dreams thrown away

People lined the road where you wrecked
And made a cross in your erect
Memories are all we have
Memories we had
Memories we lost
Memories we shared.


So many tears
Were shed that day
So many hearts shattered in a unkind way
You were loved by so many
So many loved thee
A life left unspoken
Many left wondering
Why such a devasting thing happen to thee?

What good could come of this
What a tradegy
Maybe a soul can learn 
That driving fast isn’t fun
A hurtful thing you see
When the one you love
Leaves this earth and floats above

Corey

A PERSON WHO SEEMS SO SAD
MUST HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BAD
THE PERSON WHO CAUSED YOU THIS PAIN
SURELY MUST KNOW THEY'RE TO BLAME
I ONLY HOPE THAT YOU'LL SEE
UNHAPPY YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
LET GO OF THE PAST 
MOVE ON REALLY FAST
BREAK THE GRIPPING HOLD
THAT'S MAKING YOUR HEART COLD
SOON THE OTHER WILL KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE LET GO
THEY'LL WONDER HOW 
YOU'RE LIFE COULD BE BETTER NOW
AND YOU WILL FINALLY SAY
I DO NOT NEED YOU TODAY
LET THEM BE THE ONE TO LOSE
WHEN YOU FINALLY BREAK THE NEWS
THAT YOU CAN MOVE ON
THAT YOU ARE THAT STRONG!
